From a time when human mediated training was the norm in training companies to today, when technology enabled training has taken a centre stage in managing training, Learning Management Systems (LMSs) have come a long way since their inception. So has their role in training companies. ‘LMS for Training Companies - Then & Now’ is a compelling book that takes a comprehensive look at the LMS from the perspective of training companies.

Analyzing the requirements of training companies from an LMS during the recession hit period to today, the book gives a detailed view of the various features and tools that have evolved inline with the evolving needs of the training companies. It also gives a sneak peak into the future by making predictions about the changes that one can expect in the LMS in the coming period.

Amit Gautam, Director of Technology Solutions at Upside Learning and author of this eBook commented, “As technology continues to evolve and become more pervasive, learning and its different styles undergo a proportional change. Learning Management Systems too have undergone a significant transformation over the past couple of years and are poised to transform further. The eBook drills down into this significant journey of the LMS and helps you understand why training providers had to break away from their core competency of classroom training and the ever changing and evolving role of the LMS.”
